A member asked:
After achilles tendon repair operation is swelling to be expected?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not much: Usually if the tendon is repaired surgically there is not much swelling as the wound is closed carefully and hemostasis is achieved. With elevation and immobilization usually the amount of swelling is less after it is repaired than before.
